Sex charges against White Lake firefighter dismissed

MUSKEGON COUNTY — Charges have been dismissed in a sex-crime case against a part-time White Lake Fire Authority firefighter accused of groping a female firefighter.

The Muskegon County Prosecutor’s Office last week dismissed its case against Terance Alan Kellum, 45, on the eve of trial “for further investigation.” He was facing three counts of fourth-degree criminal sexual conduct, a high-court misdemeanor.

“The police and the prosecution were provided with additional evidence just prior to the trial date, and we’re looking into those factors,” said Chief Assistant Prosecutor Brett Gardner.

The case stemmed from incidents that the alleged victim said occurred at the fire station.
